   Thanks for this. This is exactly our viewpoint and what we are trying to do.

   Thanks for all this. We'll look into it. Perhaps we tried to be too "cool" by half....

   We've had people tell us the site is slow. We are looking into it. It seems somewhat hit or miss..... And do you mean the commenting process, or just the site itself?

   Thanks for this great feedback. I get where you are coming from. I do -- I have much the same attitude after years of online discussions. And I get that it wouldn't be for everyone everywhere.

   Ouch -- not good. Thanks for letting us know.

   Thanks for the feedback! We'll look into this kind of thing -- others have said the same thing, that two sides of the same coin get treated differently. Thank you.

   Hey! Thanks so much for giving a good effort and for letting us know what happened. This is exactly the kind of thing we need and want to know. I'm grateful. Glad you would be interested -- appreciate it!

    Yes, that's what we are looking for here! :-)

    Yeah, we have the idea of a "Discussion Arena" for people who have proven that they can be good-faith actors to discuss topics of interest.

    Thanks for the feedback. One of the ideas we have is a "Discussion Arena" where a small group of informed people who are good-faith actors have a conversation, and the "Audience" can have side conversations that are mode

    Interesting idea and approach. Thanks for the feedback.

    Thanks -- I appreciate that. If this takes off, we want to be a "Calm Company" https://calmfund.com/

    Great test comment -- thanks! We know that comments like this will probably slip through the cracks, and that a determined commenter will get comments like this by the system. But we like to think that Respectify provides a lot of friction

    Holy Makeral - Your site is fantastic! Well done!

    Yes - the customer gets the same settings that are available on the demo.

    We've had that feedback from some folks and are trying to figure out the problem. Thanks for letting us know.

    This is great feedback for us -- thank you. We are well aware that this type of tool will "push a lot of buttons", but we obviously believe that there is a place for it.

    by NickHodges0702 7mo ago

    Well, yes, we think so, too. No tool will stop the determined bad actor.

    Just to be clear -- we aren't "forcing" anyone to behave. We are trying to "nudge" and "educate". I also believe that if I have a blog with comments, it's perfectly fine for me to set the rules about

    Indeed -- We'll look at it!

    Not at all! We really appreciate the great feedback and comments. So much to think about. Interesting on the ESL comment -- gaming it! Great idea!

    Interesting notion. One of the long term ideas is that people could earn some type of "Rhetoric Score" or something that would factor in to their ability to comment. Maybe there would be a comment system that would enable you to

    Thanks so much for the feedback. Exactly the kind of perspective that we need. I agree, it shouldn't be like that. I guess it isn't a surprise that politics will be the hardest topic to moderate. We'll keep trying to get bet

    Sorry -- should have been more clear: We are shifting the defaults on the demo site, not on respectify itself. Thanks for a great point, though. Finding the best defaults will be very important, and we can't tweak it like that very of

    I'm guessing that is a great point. ;-)

    Yes, thanks very much! I appreciate your support very much. You make a good point -- and that is exactly the kind of thing we are trying to do, i.e. enable a good-faith, but strongly disagreeing, discussion on something like UBI.

    I totally agree -- just saying "Obama sucks" shouldn't have racism become part of the equation. Excellent point that we'll stew on and try to make better.
